Francesco Taskayali

Francesco Taskayali (Rome, 1991) is an Italian-Turkish composer and pianist. His music is a Mediterranean minimalism — neoclassical with Ottoman roots, written for specific places more than concert halls.

"I play where silence is already full."

Co-artistic director of Piano City Palermo. Seven-year partnership with Hermès. Author for Sugar Music and Arealive. Collaborator with The Outlaw Ocean (Pulitzer-winning journalist Ian Urbina, NYT) and Cappella Amsterdam.

29 albums released since 2010. Latest works: Hivern (with Francesco Santalucia, May 2025), Après Hivern (September 2025), In the Blue Air (with Mancarella, January 2026).
